Kolkata, May 12 -- BJP MLA Sajal Ghosh reacted to the arrest of former West Bengal minister Sujit Bose by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the alleged municipality recruitment scam, saying Bose "was destined for prison."

Speaking to ANI, Ghosh said on Monday that the former minister had been given enough opportunity by the ED and alleged that the arrest was long overdue.

"At the very least, he won't be able to claim that he is being harassed simply because an election is approaching... He was bound to end up in jail anyway. He was destined for prison... The ED actually gave him ample opportunity... He is finally behind bars... he should have gone much sooner. He is going to jail far too late," Ghosh said.
